Dear Dr. Ellison:
This is to inform you that your manuscript "Subalpine
vegetation of the Wasatch Plateau" is accepted for publication
and that I have reserved space for it in the April number of
Monographs. I have now been through the entire manuscript,
line by line, marking for the printer. This kind of checking
usually produces a number of questions and, in this instance,
there are a considerable number because of the length of the
manuscript. I will take these up as they occur to me and as
I turn up the notes I have scribbled and consequently my approach may not seem too orderly.
With regard to orderliness I would like to thank you for
your careful attention to the reviewer's comments and for the
systematic listing of your handling of these comments. The
reasons and explanations which you sent were of great help to
me. Then, lest I forget it, I want to tell you how much I
regret that you will have to pay for excess illustrations
personally. It seems to me that the system is all wrong when
a government organization invests thousands upon thousands of
dollars in research and cannot provide for so relatively small
an item in the cost of publication. With regard to this cost
I will do as I have done before in making charges to you.
Although I set a figure of $140.00 I will assume that this
will be the maximum that you will have to pay. When we get
page proof the actual proportions can be figured very accurately. If then, the proportions should be less than my
estimate you will be charged only for the actual excess but
not more than $140.00.
In going through the manuscript I found numerous small
matters which I changed out of hand. Some of these had to
do with editorial policy; some of them were merely slips
which are unavoidable. As an illustration I doubt that you
| really meant that "graziers may be found lambing in the low-
j lands." If this is true it is something I surely would like
